I don't mind if it's just a small little thing. Like the Tori Bot in chapter 3, if you get it, you'll get a light chuckle out of it. Now if the plot is basically just fan service like F or most of Super, that's going too far.

The plot of dragon ball super isn't fan service, sorry to break it to ya'. ROF was fan service, pretty good fan service, but dragon ball super is a lot more than that. Kind of insulting that your just calling the entirety of super fan service

And you can't deny, that most of Super has been fan service. Fans want Vegetto back ? He's back AND blue now. Fans want Future Trunks back ? He's back and has inexplicable powers. Veg-Bul is on full force in it.
Also, I'll just disagree with you on F. Personally I don't think "ROF' and "Good" belong in the same sentence, but hey different strokes for different folks.

I'll actually state the opposite is actually true for Super, Vegeta bout' to have an epic battle with Hi- lol nope, Goku going to beat Hi- lol nope, Monaka. However I will concede that even though most of it isn't fan service, when the fan service shows up. It. Is Fan Service in every sense of the word. But those moments are few, and far between.

Yeah, different strokes for different folks, ROF may be good, in my opinion, but yeah

Oh yeah, one thing I will give Super (Which is pretty rare) is that it's climaxes have been pretty great in terms of subverting exceptions. Unfortunately, I can't give much more credit then that.

The future trunks arc, and Universe 6 arc, both shit all over the cell, and android arcs, and edge out the buu arc. Which sadly enough isn't all that hard too do... Damn it Toriyama... Why~yyy

I'm not talking about opinions, I'm talking about the logic, the consistency, the story. That sort of shnitch, not opinions, I like the transformers trilogy, my opinion, we all like some form of garbage.

Part I had fanservice with Bulma and whatnot, but it was mostly for gag moments. The Pilaf Arc and 21st Budokai Arc were both chop full of nothing but gags.

I think Super has a lot of fanservice for the Vegeta/Bulma shippers. *Cough* episode 2 *cough*

I feel "fan served" seeing Piccolo babysitting and playing peekabo with baby Pan. Now I really really reaaaally want to see him sing the songs he said Pan liked. I betcha they're Namekian lullabies!

Can you still ship a couple that is... well already a couple. I always assumed the term was for "I want these 2 to end up together". They have been together for about 10 years and have a kid(another on the way).
Bulma is awesome... but chi-chi is best waifu :wink:

Yeah, because I consider creating fanworks of pairings whether they're canon or not is part of the "shipping" experience. Because in fanfiction or fanart you can almost do whatever you want.

Draw them as merfolk? Okay! Now they have fishtails!

Write a fanfic of their wedding or first time "doing it" in bed? Easy peasy! Make it as romantic, awkward or sexy as you want!

Not sure if your being condescending or serious but Super isn't fanwork it's official. I guess you can make the argument that it's fan service but super is building up on Vegetas character and his relationship with his family while keeping it entertaining. Actually I would argue against it being fan service since it's not just there for the sake of being their an adds to vegeta character.

She isn't calling Dragon Ball Super a fan creation. The message is referring to creation of fan works at all, even if they're already established. Diving into reality a bit, certain groups of individuals enjoy discussing the relationships of dating & married couples alike. In their perspective, the fun doesn't end if they connect as there's more things to talk about now. I'm personally not into that (fiction, reality, or otherwise) but it's easy to understand the appeal. The effect is even greater in fiction because one can quite literally do what they want with the characters!

O.o;; How was my comment misconstrued as calling DBS fanwork? Either way, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Sure, in this case you want them to stay together.

Sorry I misunderstood your post lol, I just thought that shipping a couple that's already married and with kids was kinda silly.

Why if you think the relationship is compelling?
